You should also be aware that .One.Laptop.Per.Child (OLPC) is working on

translating more than a hundred .applications for its Linux-based XO laptop

to Yoruba, Hausa, Fula/Fulfulde, and Igbo (see

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization and http://dev.laptop.org/translate),

and invites Nigerians and in fact anyone from any under-served

language-community to join together to create translations into other

languages. "Nigeria's official language is English along with Edo, Efik,

Adamawa Fulfulde, Hausa, Idoma, Igbo, Central Kanuri and Yoruba."



If you are interested, you can register at http://dev.laptop.org/translate.

To start a new language project, follow the directions at

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization



If you need help getting started, send me an e-mail. I volunteer as a

Volunteer Coordinator with OLPC. We also want to translate our Wiki,

textbooks, educational content, and much more besides.
